This dress is fine for a wedding...

[TheWhiteOfIt]

My daughter will be 2, just.
It's my brother that's getting married.
I think this dress is absolutely gorgeous for my little girl to wear but DH thinks it's got too much white in it...
aibu?

I had a little browse on Monsoon's website @Heartofglass12345, and I looked that one too.

I may have bought a pretty outfit for my granddaughter.

He’s wrong, you’re right. 2 year olds are totally exempt from wedding guff.

She is 2...how on earth will a little girl dressing up in a "princessy*" type dress with butterflies on upset anyone ? I think she will just make them smile. Buy it.

Beautiful dress, I love it. If I saw a 2 year old wearing it at a wedding I would assume (if I didn’t know otherwise) that she was a bridesmaid. Maybe that’s ok. Maybe not.

It’s gorgeous. X

I think it's beautiful and your daughter will look beautiful. If I was the bride I would be thrilled she/you made so much effort. Who doesn't love a gorgeously dressed little girl x

It looks like a flower girls dress .. . but if you think bride wont be arsed its beautiful . I would just ask her

She's 2 so any pretty dress you put her in will pretty much make her look like a bridesmaid so on this occasion I agree with your DH.

But I wouldn't worry too much. If you are worried, send the pic to your SIL first and ask her opinion.

Buy it. Its perfect for a wedding! Men are idiots

I wouldn’t use it as its white - it will looks good for 5 minutes maximum, then a mess of stains and rips. But if your child is (VERY) placid and you are ok with that, go for it

It’s lovely. She’s look divine. Buy it.

My 4 year old daughter and 2 year old daughter wore white dresses to my wedding/ reception had loads of fields to run around in and they didnt get covered in stains....big bib for the dinner and then just dont stress.

"Why will the future SIL feel obliged to say yes, if the OP hasn't already bought the dress for her daughter?"

Because if she says no she'll be a bridezilla.
Why? Not in any normal world, surely?
Because if she says no OP will probably say she's a real bitch.
Again, why?

A two year old will look dead cute in that, and if a bride is worried about being upstaged by a two year old, she has major issues that won't be solved by dress selection.

We had the little boys and girls at our wedding in mini replicas of the groomsmen's suits and bridesmaids dresses and they totally upstaged everyone else, and good for them too, that's what cute kids do, grown-ups just deal with it.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom 50% of the women on this site are saying horrible things about anyone who would be upset by the dress.

OP has called people bitches for not agreeing with her.

Brides aren't allowed to speak their minds these days without being labelled.

It really wouldn't have bothered me if a little girl turned up at my wedding in a dress like that. I do wonder about the type of people who it would really actually bother - or if people just look for problems where there isn't (or shouldn't) be.

The girl is 2. She's hardly upstaging the bride. And there are no bridesmaids to upstage either

It's a pretty party dress for a little girl, thats all.

Can't think of a much less suitable dress for a 2 year old. It's just completely impractical. Yes it looks nice but no, just no, wouldn't put anything like that on mine for any reason, there are plenty of nice but less cumbersome dresses out there.

It’s a lovely dress - in fact my daughter wore it to my wedding last year! Don’t worry about it getting dirty, the shape is good as it’s higher at the front and they don’t trip!

I am thinking of eBaying it actually - age 3/4 so a bit big for your one!

It’s beautiful . Go for it

One of my best friend’s dressed her 5 year old in a white dress for my wedding . I had 2 bridesmaids dressed in blue and my niece as a flower girl, dressed in white.

I wasn’t bothered in the slightest on the day, it didn’t even cross my mind. People knew she wasn’t a flower girl as she didn’t walk down the aisle with us. It’s only from reading stuff like this on here that I wonder if I should have been bothered

If you’re worried, check with the bride before buying it.

I think it's a bit that people are suggesting that a 2 year old could even be a bridesmaid. Perhaps I'm missing something?

To be fair the term flower girl hasn't always been used, at least not where we live. Anyone who walked up the aisle after the bride was just called a bridesmaid - I have been a bridesmaid from 2y, another 3 times as a child and then once as an adult. Its only in recent times the term flower girl, for younger girls walking up they aisle, seems to have started to be used more and more ime.

That’s the most passive aggressive dress I’ve ever seen.

Give us an update OP.
I personally think the dress is a little OTT for a 2 Yr old to be honest, by each to their own. However, it is definitely a flower girl dress.
Glad you are asking the bride, there could be a reason why she has decided no bridesmaids

Definitely wanna be bridesmaid.
Please don't 😳😳😳

I think it’s gorgeous. If they were having bridesmaids I might not choose it so it doesn’t look like you’re trying to make it look like she’s a bridesmaid but they’re not so I think it’s fine.
